• Pius XI Catholic wins team of the week in pre-Christmas girls basketball rankings (jsonline.com) — Brookfield Central gets a nod in this week’s Milwaukee-area girls basketball coverage, hosting key neutral-site games where Pius XI Catholic capped an impressive 3-0 stretch. The rankings highlight how local powers are shaping up before the holidays, with several potential state contenders emerging and intriguing nonconference matchups on tap that Brookfield hoops fans may want to follow. 
• A Black man's hanging death in Brookfield leads to questions from community (wuwm.com) — Residents are grappling with the hanging death of 39-year-old Torrance Medley, found near Brookfield Hills Golf Course, as police say they’ve found no indication of foul play so far. Community members and a Marquette historian say the region’s racial history and current political climate make it reasonable to question whether bias or hate could have played a role.
